What appalling service myself, my partner and our friends received on 5th/6th November 2022 after having the misfortune of staying at Dream Apartments Manchester. During our stay we encountered a number of unsatisfactory service levels that need to be highlighted and actioned upon and I demand a response to this complaint after what can only be described as a horrendous experience. On Saturday 5th November, myself, my partner and his friends who had travelled over 300 miles to stay with us for the night after we had promised them a night to remember and booked what we believed to be a high standard of accommodation, soon to be proven wrong. We arrived at the hotel at roughly 12.45pm and we're aware that check in wasn't till 4pm however we had an event booked in Manchester at 1.30pm and were all aware that we couldn't check in till after this event. After struggling to find parking around the area, staff at Dream Apartments allowed us to park on the accommodation car park underground for an additional cost of £40 however documented on their welcome leaflet it states additional cost of £15 per day. This should have incurred us an additional £30 as there were 2 cars not £40 so we felt like we were being robbed to start with. Later that evening at roughly 6.30pm we checked into the accommodation, one set of keys was provided to us for a group of 5 people. We arrived in the apartment, quickly freshened up and left the apartment at roughly 19.15pm for a night out round Manchester, who knew at that point that the night ahead would involve sleeping on the back seat of a car or on the hard cold floors of the apartment corridors. After an amazing night out myself and my partner decided at 3am to call it a night and to return to the Apartment, we were both tired, cold and in need of some well-deserved rest, shortly realising that we unfortunately had lost the key to the room, unfortunate I know but mistakes happen we are only human at the end of the day. Upon arrival to the Apartments the reception area was closed however 2 male security guards were sat behind the desk. We apologised for the mishap and explained we had lost the keys, shortly to be informed that there was nothing that could be done and we had 2 options, stay in the apartment reception area sat on 2 grey plastic chairs or sleep in the car underground until 7am when Reception staff started there shift as there was no spare key as the master key didn't fit every room. Shocking to think that such poor service could be provided and when I am sure these unfortunate incidents happen regularly there was nothing that could be done. Needless to say myself and my partner decided to try and sleep in the car at least we would have the heater and could try and find some warm clothing jumpers coats etc that happened to be in the back of the car. We both stayed in the car on the back seat and had to turn off the heating in the car due to there being no air circulation on the underground car pa
